First day at my new 9 to 5 job ...

Well yesterday was my first day at a FULL Time 9 to 5 job. Yes, I have joined the darkside and is no longer self-employed, but an employee.

No more waking up at whatever time I want. No more taking a few days off to go to Penang or Singapore as I wish. No more total freedom... no more "I don't feel like doing anything today" ...

Not only have I joined the 90% of the employees around, my job requires me to work 5.5 days week. Now that really sucks... anyway, no choice, it is part of the job scope, so I will have to slave away.

So why did I accepted the offer? Well, first of all, it was an pretty good offer. I am working as the Marketing/Sales Manager at Win Malaysia Sdn Bhd. We are the sole distributor of Russ and Nici products as well as many other soft (plush toys) and hard gifts (photo frames, mugs, etc).

My job scope includes everything needed to run the place. Basically I am given all the responsibility of what my boss would do. From chairing meetings, to managing staff, to outstation trips to cover our 60+ consignments stores, to travelling overseas to source for products...

Well, it has only been 1 day since I started work. I guess, I would at least need to give myself 3-6 months before I know whether is this the right job for me. As usual, I like the challenge, I like the unknown, I like the scale of their business. It is no more a 1 man show, we have corporate customers like Jusco, Parkson, Isetan, Metrojaya, and other franchise holder like Memory Lane, Lovely Lace and others.

Alright back to work...
